Texas Aggies’, famed “Twelfth

rugged Villdnova Wildcats and
Dame Fate as tough a combination
to bjeat as loaded djee in the hands
of a crap-shooting artiste.
Before the opening kick-off,
the Twelfth Man was in his glory.

friend on his arm, but definitely
he was clothed in the Aggie air

ent that the visiting Blue Shirts
had some Outside help, too. .

LUBBOCK, Sept. 19 (A 1 *—Tfcxas
Tech football fans may expect more
forward passing from Red Raider
quarterbacks. j: ' ■ i
Back for a fifth season is Er
nest Hawkins, Lamesa, one of
eight athletes in the college’s his
tory to letter in three sport* in
a single school year. His first war
year did nob Count against eligibil-
ity ; . ' ]|
Also back: are Bill Lyman, Little
field, squadman last year, and
Milton Rathbone, San Angelo,
1948 letterman and 1944 all-skater
in Texas high school circles.
And among the new men are a
couple of fancy tossers. Bobby

passers last spring and two new
man, especially, showed major im
provement. John Moughon, Weath
erford] staf of the 1948 Tech
frOshmen, apparently picked up
the most pointers and is hitting
his mark consistently. Albert Sal-
enj, El Paso, a transfer, exhibited
su) prising ability in the scrim
mage ending the spring drill. His
passing, play calling and defensive
tactics shawled him a major con-
tcijtder for quarterbacking honors.

quarterback of Ranger Junior
college last fall, also moved to
Ttjch this full ami is seen as a pos
sible regular] Eural Ramsey, Sbum-i
rock high star of 1947, also is a-
candidate JfOr quarterback.
Coach Del) Morgan could start
any of three men at fullback for
v the Red Raiders and not go wrong.
(Back for their third year are
Lettornjen Bud Conley, Quanah;
J.jW, Thompson, Odessa; and Earl
Jacksqn, Phillips. Jackson shewed
himself as a fast qnd powerful
runner last fall, after seeing Con
ley start most games. Jackson is
a deceptive runner past the line
of scrimmage, and he (ears
through the line. He is expected to
bq a starter \his fall.
Conley always has been counted
on for several yards a try, and
Thompson, oh occasion? has broken
loose for long gaihs.
Couch Morgan, lacking strength
this fall at right halfback, has
been giving Conley a try at that
post and plans to use him in both
spots to utilize his ability. x ;
